NATURAL SWEETENER

Stevia as a natural sweetener:

In addition to being a semi-sweetener, the plant also exhibits antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, antiseptic, diuretic, fertility-reducing and cardiotonic effects.

It has also been documented that stevia shows good effects in the treatment of skin diseases such as dermatitis, acne, eczema, etc.

Stevia leaves, enriched with phytocomponents, can be an alternative natural sweetener for children, adults and the elderly who have a passion for drinking beverages and eat sweetened foods in their daily lives.

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial shrub from Paraguay that is widely cultivated today as it is increasingly used as a sugar substitute in various foods due to its sweetness and minimal calorie content.

These properties of plant derivatives have prompted the study of their biological activity, revealing a multitude of benefits for human health, including antidiabetic, anticariogenic, antioxidant, hypotensive, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects.

To our knowledge, no recent reviews have conducted surveys and reported on published work exclusively on the latter. Therefore, our main goal was to present a brief, literature-based overview of the biological effects of stevia derivatives on various types of tumors, as studied in in vitro and in vivo disease models.

Forgetting about sugar is quite simple - Prebiosweet STEVIA sweetener tastes like sugar and does not contain calories. In addition, Prebiosvit contains fiber or prebiotics. You can buy a healthy sweetener today on our website

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and its secondary metabolites: their effects on cardiovascular risk factors

The most common causes of morbidity and mortality are cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which are usually associated with stress, lack of physical activity, poor diet and being overweight. CVD can be prevented by modifying certain risk factors, such as cholesterol and blood sugar levels and body weight. Natural sugars from fruits and honey have long been part of the human diet.

However, although sucrose was the main sweetener throughout the 20th century, it is gradually being replaced by artificial sweeteners. They are many times sweeter than natural sugar, and since they often contain no calories, they can be used for weight control.

Some documents indicate that natural sweeteners such as stevia (derived from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) may be safer alternatives for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
